A new country, new friends, and exciting memories. It has only been a week and I feel as if my life is already changing. This photo was taken on the very first sunny day that Segovia had seen during this first week. A flag being a symbol of unity, hope, belonging, and pride are the reasons that this photo has meaning to me. It is easy to forget where we come from and why we choose to live the lives we do but a flag has the ability to remind us why loyalty to ourselves, others, and our country is important.
